I think one thread is a good place to announce updates to the dCore x86 ports since they all get the same changes each time, there is really no need ot have to say the same thing 4 times.

A bug in importsce options has been fixed, as well as the use of a blocked packages list. The list is found at /tmp/PKGEXCLUDELIST. It is only downloaded if there is not already one in place, so the list can be edited and backed up in the case that one wants to test blocked packages. If a package has a blocked package as one of it's dependencies, the blocked package will not be imported and a warning is issued giving an option to cancel or proceed anyway.

The files in release candidates have also been updated with this fix.

To start with, wicd, gnome, kde, and unity are blocked since they do not work 'out of the box' and no fix has been found.

the last cut shows some problems for me... perhaps there are some misunderstandings, too!?

what do you think about that following commands?do i use them in the right way?

f.e.updatesce -c -ashould show all update-able packages?in the last week i had the feeling that sometimes some updates were not reported,for such a long time no updates were requested...now i think that more packages are reported than need updates (i didn't proof that yet)

importsce -s -d -u <package-name>-u should update the debinx files,but i get the message that in my tce-directory this file is missing.

with the older cut my command line gives me following reply and i have to call the package-name a second time...importsce -s -d -u <package-name>Using the -d option.Using the -s option.Using the -u option.basename: option requires an argument -- 's'Try 'basename --help' for more information.

Enter starting characters of package sought: after entering the package-name a second time the merging works.

As far as updates, Jessie is seeing a flurry of package updates this near to release. Updatesce depends on our server syncing the Packages files, and that is run about once a day. If I miss a day, then 2 days will go my and nothing available to update. But normally, it is synced at least once a day, sometimes several times since any file changes on our server will mean running a sync.

The issue you saw will alltray was a critical bug introduced in the latest release.

the grep "file not found" command is purely cosmetic.

I have fixed both along with armv7 support added in, and since there was a critical bug I have updated all the dCore x86 ports in release and release_candidates.

If an SCE is loaded and an update on it is run, another update without rebooting will show the same available updates as the last. A reboot should then load the updated SCE and show no available updates.

This is only to say you that the migration to 3.16.6 with the update of my base.sce was flawless.- First changing the base.sce.lst with the respective 3.16.6 versions files and then updating this base.sce- Continuing with changing to the new ub-dCore-trusty.gz and wmlinuz-trusty 3.16.6 versions in the boot directory- Rebooting... and... voila!.

Tomorrow I update all the rest .sce who have the base.sce as dependency

I just downloaded http://tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/release/ub-dCore-trusty/ub-dCore-trusty.gz and I haven't uploaded any changes since you downloaded it. I see that it has /usr/bin/sce-debpurge.

Many thanks for double-checking! I must admit that I did overlooked something obvious, indeed, as I just found out. Short story: I re-booted the machine and -- ta-taa -- there was a shiny new sce-debpurge.Long story (to keep those entertained that still are reading): I had been so fond of my shiny new suspend and hibernate buttons (http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:migrating_from_flwm_to_lxde#menu_entries_and_panel_buttons_for_suspending_to_ram_or_disk) that I completely forgot to really re-boot into the new initrd.Sorry for the noise and thanks again for your support! BTW, I have not only been busy suspending on and off but have a final bulk of writing for the wiki about handling extensions in the works.Cheers!
